Description Walter Dnes 2018-02-04 02:52:37 UTC
ICEWM has a menu/launch bar available at the bottom of the screen. Everything works OK in icewm-1.3.12-r1. But in 1.4.2 (and 1.4.0)
* clicking on icon to change workarea works OK
* clicking on icon to launch an application from the main launchbar works OK
* clicking on icon to open a sub-menu crashes immediately

This happens on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel Gentoo installs. When done as root, the system locks up solid. Cannot ssh in, and no response to "Magic SysRq". When done as regular user, ICEWM crashes back to the text console from which "startx" was executed. Xorg.log shows nothing interesting

[    73.084] (II) UnloadModule: "kbd"
[    73.084] (II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
[    73.785] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

  Here is a fragment from ~/.icewm/menu (which is a symlink to ~/.icewm/toolbar)

}

Clicking on the icon correponding to "GQVIEW" or "Restart ICEWM" works OK. Clicking on the icon corresponding to "NETAIR" causes an immediate crash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch ICEWM via startx
2. Click on any launchbar icon that brings up a sub menu

Actual Results:  
ICEWM crashes immediately

Expected Results:  
A submenu should open up, allowing a further choice of applications to launch.

x11-wm/icewm-1.3.12-r1 works OK, so I'm staying with it for now.

Still an issue with latest 1.5.x release?

Bottom statusbar showing truncated workspace labels
Comment 3 Walter Dnes 2019-04-30 00:04:36 UTC
I apologize for the delay responding. The newer desktop (amd64 Gentoo) updated quickly. My 32-bit desktop (11-year-old Dell Core2 with 3 gigs ram) took a while grinding away updating @world. 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 (both ~amd64 and ~x86) appear to have solved the crash on amd64 and x86.

Before stabilizing 1.5.3 or 1.5.4... I seem to have found a separate problem with both 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 on ~amd64 and ~x86. For the workspace labels, either the bottom status/menu bar font is too large or the labels are too small. This did not happen on previous versions. See attached image of menubar. Note the truncated labels at the bottom left. Before filing a new bug, I'll first RTFM, and see if anything has changed in how ICEWM is supposed to be configured/setup. Clicking the workspace labels does work (i.e. changing to the appropriate workspace) so this is a cosmetic issue, as long as you know which label is which.

BTW, am I missing something obvious? I can't seem to attach an image with a text post like this.
